COOL BLUE DUNE BUGGY. BUILT OUT OF A TWIN CARBS 6 CYL HP CROVAIR. LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING FROM ENGINE TO BRAKES HAVE.

This particular example was built in and is equipped with a Chevrolet Corvair engine. The seller says it is very fast, fun to drive and always turns heads especially with the hardtop in place. Custom made frame was built 4 times before getting the geometry right. The rear transaxle is from a Corvair Monza, but the axles were from a Corvair bus.

George Barris' Personal Dune Buggy Is for Sale - autoevolution

The original fiberglass body is in good condition and the buggy is sold with its optional Bremen factory hardtop. The seller says it is very fast, fun to drive and always turns heads especially with the hardtop in place. The car remains on its original Pennsylvania title with a state assigned VIN.

The original builder fitted auxiliary Stewart Warner gauges, of which only the oil pressure is connected. The seller removed the body in preparation for the major service and took the opportunity to take several photos of the frame viewable within the gallery below. Most of these were fitted with VW engines, but this one is powered by an RB-suffix Corvair engine with high-HP casting numbers on the heads and distributor.

Recent recommissioning work included a rebuild of the four barrel Rochester carb and the seller says that the engine pulls hard and sounds great through custom headers and cherry bomb style mufflers. Note the IECO intake manifold.

Here it is pictured from underneath. Other recent work included fitment of a new clutch, upgraded Corvair Underground flywheel and new universal joints. VW front and GM rear brakes have been refreshed as well, running new wheel cylinders, hoses and master cylinder. There are some minor needs that can be fixed over time like an inop horn, wipers and emergency brake, but otherwise the buggy is ready to drive.
